Dan; I am not sure what you are talking about? Can you be a little clearer about what NT 2000 is supposed to be? Regards; Jordan

Major corporate upgrade cycle to Windows2000/Office2000 is in full force, imo. I am checking several business and expressing my opinion based on what the CEOs and IT managers tell me. We will know in 30 days if what I hear is a general trend or not.

Dan, what's getting you so jazzed up about the NT 2000 server? I assume you're talking about Windows 2000 Datacenter server because I can already buy the Server and Advanced Server versions of Windows 2000. As I understand it the Datacenter version is the same code base as the rest of the Windows 2000 offerings with settings to allow for wider scalability in several ways. It will only be sold by a limited number of qualified OEMs and supports a limited set of qualified hardware configurations. Because of it's target market (high availability) the release was delayed to include SP1 fixes and the field experience from the other W2K versions. So while MS is doing the right things to target this version of W2K I don't see it as a barn burner in terms of revenue. More for bragging rights on the high end and to fill out the product line. Is that what you mean?
